Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 114 As long as the benefits are big enough, the action will be fast enough

The reaction from Austin and Chris was so intense, so passionate.

In fact, it's not that what Cao Yang said was so creative.

In fact, the impact of bidding collusion and price manipulation among suppliers on vehicle production costs is not necessarily that great.

Car companies are mostly aware of these "little moves" by their suppliers.

Even if the price of a certain batch of parts orders is slightly raised, it will be compensated elsewhere.

This has even become a tacit understanding between auto parts suppliers and car companies.

Of course, among Japanese car companies, this situation will be more obvious.

In General Motors and Ford, it's slightly better.

But no matter what, life is difficult for General Motors and Ford Motor Company, but the financial statements of those parts giants are very good-looking.

At this time, Chris and Westin naturally couldn't bear it anymore.

The eldest brother was drinking soup, but the younger brother was eating meat and his mouth was full of oil.

How can this matter be tolerated?

That's why Cao Yang handed them the weapon of "anti-monopoly" and it had such a big effect.

GM and Ford's second-quarter results will likely not be better than their first-quarter results.

So both Austin and Chris were stressed out.

With such a cost-cutting tool, they naturally have to use it with all their strength.

As long as it is determined that the parts giants have violated the Anti-Monopoly Law, not only can the U.S. law enforcement agencies fine them a huge sum of money, but General Motors and Ford can also use this opportunity to find them to lower their prices.

If all TOP50 suppliers are involved, the overall procurement cost will be reduced by 5%, which is really not a problem.

So after meeting the two of them, Cao Yang had not even booked a plane ticket to return home, but he had already heard that the American judicial authorities had officially launched an antitrust investigation into the auto parts industry.

Subsequently, the American headquarters of SKF, NTN, JTEKT, and NSK were raided.

The largest antitrust case in the history of the United States has officially begun.

This behind-the-scenes operation in the automobile industry, which is little known to outsiders but is ubiquitous, has also been exposed to the world.

"Mr. Cao, the influence of General Motors and Ford is really great."

"The judicial authorities were so quickly asked to cooperate with them in launching an anti-monopoly investigation, and they directly used the bearing field that we had previously hoped for as an entry point."

"The power of this local snake is really fierce!"

Zeng Tingting looked at the report on the Yahoo Auto Channel and felt quite emotional.

She originally thought that such a big thing would have to be brewing for a month or two before there was any movement.

Unexpectedly, not even a week passed before they started working.

Sure enough, as long as there are benefits, people's efficiency will also be leveraged.

Things like not working overtime are all nonsense.

"You also don't look at General Motors' position in America."

"It has been the leader of the global automobile industry for more than 70 consecutive years, and the shareholders behind it are all affiliated institutions of Wall Street."

“Its include Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Daewoo, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Opel, Vauxhall, Hummer, Holden, Saab, Saturn, GMC and other brands, as well as Suzuki, Isuzu and Subaru of shares.”

"Such a company, in capitalist America, do you think its influence will be lower than that of our state-owned enterprises?"

"As for Ford Motor Company, even though it is a thousand-year-old manufacturer, it is not bad at all."

"Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Aston Martin, Land Rover, Jaguar and Volvo are not as good as General Motors in terms of quantity, but they completely surpass General Motors in terms of quality."

"Now the two of them have joined forces, and even after they returned, they went to Chrysler and Dodge to join forces to persuade the American judicial authorities. Can this influence be small?"

After Cao Yang said this, Zeng Tingting had a more direct understanding of the influence of General Motors and Ford Motors.

If you don't list them, you don't know how strong their foundation is.

If a little bit of it leaks out, it will be enough for other car companies to snatch it up.

"SKF, as the number one target of investigation, will probably leave with nothing to lose this time."

"If people at their headquarters knew that Huaxia Branch was behind this incident, they would probably be thinking of firing all the management of Huaxia Branch."

Zeng Tingting was in a very happy mood at this time.

Although the domestic lawsuit did not end so quickly, in this confrontation between SKF and Nanshan, it was clear that SKF had the upper hand.

The one who will suffer greater losses at that time will definitely be the SKF Group.

"Now is not the time to reveal it. When we become stronger, we won't be afraid of their suppression."

Cao Yang is not arrogant enough to challenge all international parts giants.

After a few years of development, you will be competitors with a bunch of giants, and you won't be afraid of being suppressed by others.

"The last time we came to the United States, we gave Toyota a hard time."

"This time, suppliers such as SKF, NTN, NSK, and JTEKT have been cheated again."

"Even other international parts giants have been cheated by us."

"But the biggest impact is estimated to be Toyo's suppliers. They have done the most excessive things in terms of monopoly."

"I feel like this news may not be able to be kept secret for long."

"They will definitely know that this matter has something to do with us by then."

"We also need to be somewhat prepared for this matter."

Zeng Tingting felt that Austin and Chris were not so trustworthy.

Although they have agreed to keep it secret now, who knows if they will spill the beans one day when they are drunk?

Or when the executives of General Motors and Ford Motor ask, will Nanshan be sold?

So she felt it was necessary to remind Cao Yang to be prepared for the news to leak.

Otherwise, he would be suddenly attacked by someone, and he would be passive.

"Don't be afraid if you know. They have no evidence."

"Whether it is Toyota's brake door or this antitrust investigation in the auto parts industry, it is American giants such as General Motors and Ford that are leading the charge."

"They are willing to attract hatred and are not afraid of other people retaliating against them. We can just beat them to death and refuse to acknowledge them."

"Anyway, as long as it doesn't affect our orders from GM, Ford, Volkswagen and other car companies, everything else doesn't matter."

In the first decade of the 21st century, for Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., American and European car companies were the thickest thighs.

Although the car companies in Japan and Korea are developing very fast, their opportunities are basically not left to Nanshan.

Being able to drink soup from their supply system is considered good.

"Mr. Cao, this time things will definitely cause a big fuss. I have an idea. Maybe I can trick SKF again."
